Lakers star Kobe Bryant, after Sunday night’s 102-90 loss in Phoenix, criticized the organization for its handling of Pau Gasol, suggesting the front office has been indecisive about whether or not to trade his teammate. Should the Lakers decide to move the Spanish power forward, meanwhile, Derrick Rose has his hand raised in Chicago and thinks Gasol would be a good fit with the Bulls.

“He hasn’t said so publicly, but he has made that known privately,” a source told SheridanHoops.

The Lakers tried to trade Gasol before the season as part of a three-way deal what would have netted the team Chris Paul, and trade rumors have followed Gasol since.

Such a deal appears to be a longshot. Boozer, with three years and $46 million remaining on his contract, is not widely considered a marketable asset. Plus, Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak told SI.com late last week that the team is bound to stand pat and not make any major deals before the March 15 deadline.

"Of course we'll talk to a lot of teams (about trades), like everybody else does, leading up until the trade deadline to see if there is a way to improve the team," Kupchak told SI. "But the likelihood is that this is the team that's going to finish into the playoffs. That's just the way it normally works, but we'll see."
